Police: Suspect in Halloween mask robs another Kansas grocery store

Officers stop shoppers from entering Dillons after a robbery on Friday afternoon. While the store remained closed, cars were still being helped at the pharmacy drive-thru.

RENO COUNTY — For the second time this week, police in Hutchinson are investigating the robbery of a Dillon’s Store.

Just after 3p.m. on Friday, Reno County 911 reported a robbery at the East 4th Avenue Dillon’s in Hutchinson.

Police say that a man wearing a mask walked into the store and demanded money.

Officers say this robbery and the one at the Dillon’s on North Main in Hutchinson on Monday morning may be connected.

On Friday, some parents were called by local schools and asked if they wanted their children to walk home or be picked up because of the robbery.

During Monday’s robbery, a man, also wearing a Halloween mask, walked in and demanded money before attempting to flee on a bicycle. No arrests have been made in that case.
